Rhodochrosite with Sphalerite and Galena Inakuraishi mine, Shakotan peninsula, Shiribeshi Province, Hokkaido Island, Japan 6.6cm x 6.27cm x 4.83cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A classic example of rhodochrosite from Japan!!! This specimen hosts a layer of botryoidal rhodochrosite atop a thick section of concentric layers of gemmy rhodochrosite in association with galena and sphalerite!!! The top layer of botryoidal rhodochrosite has a layer of microcrystals on top of it and the bottom of the specimen hosts vugs lined with tiny rosettes of crystals!!! The most striking feature is a thick band of intensely colored, gemmy translucent rhodochrosite sandwiched between concentric layers of multi-hued pinks!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! Rare, classic material!!! This specimen retains an old Japanese label!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
